The Archibald Hotel at the Charles Bridge in Prague .
We walked across the Charles Bridge. We got lost in some of the narrow streets around the Jewish quarter. Lovely old buildings and narrow cobble stones.
The Charles Bridge during the day. Already the vendors are out. They are not as aggressive as the ones in Budapest.
The Garden restaurant behind our hotel. At night this area is very lovely. We plan to have dinner here tonight.
Narrow alleys and waterways in old town. We had planned to walk a lot more but the heat turned us back.
Both sides of the bridge have towers. You cam climb to the top of the tower on the side of old town.
Tony takes off his hat in the shade to cool off. Wear comfy shoes and plan to travel by foot.
Lots of swans and ducks in the river Vlata.
The bridge railings are full of locks. We came back to this place to eat lunch.
The Kampa museum was flooded in June, as was the zoo and other buildings close by the river.
A volunteer cleans the Ghandi statue. Part of the cleanup after the flood.
Lunch at 2:30. Nice salad and chicken wings but expensive. We tried to find a grocery store in the area to buy our own water and beer and wine. There must be some but hard to find. Since we are leaving at 3:45 am, we will have a drink before dinner at the pub.
The riverside of our hotel. Went home at 4:00 pm for a cold shower and a nap.
After the nap, left at 7:30 for a drink . The Kavka museum has balloon flights.
They are tethered to the ground. But you get a great view of Prague.
Dinner was lovely. I had rabbit, potatoes and spinach. Tony had chicken schnitzel and cucumber salad and potatoes. Bruschetta for an appetizer. The tomatoes here and in Hungary are amazing. Red, ripe and tasty. In bed by ten. We are up at 2:45 to leave at 3:45 for our 6:30 flight to Amsterdam. Wish we had more time in Prague. Amsterdam for two nights and then back to Langley in Canada .
